For 4 lane DP, the DP driver overrides the phy programming. For 2 lanes
DP, the usb phy programming is leveraged.

I believe the usb controller needs to enable both usb3 (qmp phy) and usb2
(hs phy) before DP phy_init. If one of the usb phy init fails, the usb controller
will not enumerate and will cause usb2 devices (like keyboard or mouse) to
not work. The usb controller probe was failing because DP was turning on
(voting) a clock which was supposed to be initialized by the usb driver.

We did not see any issue with DP because the programming anyway gets
overwritten but due to usb controller failure, usb devices did not work.
